Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlandsTears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck(I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' handsAnd down the highway another stranger comesYou gotta take 'em baby when they come.

Little girl put on your best dress'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight(Better bring along your switchblades)'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fightYou've got to take 'em baby as they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girlTake 'em as they come, girlTake 'em as they come, girlTake 'em baby as they come

God save the rider in the black nightSave the man who taught that it was rightTo do what they have doneTo become what we have becomeYou gotta take 'em when they comeLittle girl, gone are the daysFaded away into a clear blue nightAnd all the vows that we madeLie shattered and broken in the morning light
